Section 2: How to publish Open papers without having to sell a kidney and having one’s work stolen

Archiving on a pre-print repository

  • Free and with good visibility for well-known repositories (BioRχiv, ChemRxiv)

    • Indexed in e.g. Google Scholar
    • Has a DOI, citable

  • Supported by many publishers

  • Possible to revise the manuscript and thus to upload accepted manuscript

  • Possible to link final paper to preprint

  • Authors retain copyright

  • Authors establish precedence

Example of BioRχiv deposition

Choose an open access modality

Green/gold/diamond

Choose a license [1/2]

The license impacts what people can do with your work, e.g.

  • CC BY: Reusers can distribute

    • if attribution given

    • remixed, adapted, built upon

    • including for commercial use

  • CC BY-NC-ND: Reusers can copy and distribute the work

    • if attribution given

    • in unadapted form only

    • for non-commercial use only

Choose a license [2/2]

The license impacts the publishing costs a.k.a APC

Archiving after publication

  • The go-to repository in France is HAL

    • Somewhat redundant local initiative @UBx: OSKAR

  • For PhD thesis: theses.fr

Disclaimers

  • Publishers may require the addition of disclaimers on top of accepted/published manuscript depositions

    • Publishers and public-mandate dependent, e.g. ACS

So when can I upload the publishers’ version exactly?

Section 3: Data, code and software

Go FAIR

  • Findable

    • F1. (Meta)data are assigned a globally unique and persistent identifier

    • F2. Data are described with rich metadata (defined by R1)

    • F3. Metadata clearly and explicitly include the identifier of the data they describe

    • F4. (Meta)data are registered or indexed in a searchable resource

  • Accessible

    • A1. (Meta)data are retrievable by their identifier using a standardised communications protocol

      • A1.1 The protocol is open, free, and universally implementable

      • A1.2 The protocol allows for an authentication and authorisation procedure, where necessary

    • A2. Metadata are accessible, even when the data are no longer available

Go FAIR

  • Interoperable

    • I1. (Meta)data use a formal, accessible, shared, and broadly applicable language for knowledge representation.

    • I2. (Meta)data use vocabularies that follow FAIR principles

    • I3. (Meta)data include qualified references to other (meta)data

  • Reusable

    • R1. (Meta)data are richly described with a plurality of accurate and relevant attributes

      • R1.1. (Meta)data are released with a clear and accessible data usage license

      • R1.2. (Meta)data are associated with detailed provenance

      • R1.3. (Meta)data meet domain-relevant community standards

Data management plan

  • DMP Opidor

Section 4: Resources

General resources
